With longtime DFL state Sen. Barb Goodwin’s upcoming retirement from District 41, current House District 41B Rep. Carolyn Laine is looking to fill her seat, meaning a Democrat would continue to represent the district in the Legislature.

While two terms on the Mounds View City Council are expiring at the end of the year, the two council members who currently hold those seats — Sherry Gunn and Gary Meehlhause — are running for re-election without opposition.

This year House District 42A is seeing a rematch of 2014’s close race between Rep. Barb Yarusso and her Republican challenger Randy Jessup. Two years ago, Yarusso won narrowly over Jessup by only 220 votes, or about 1 percent of the vote.
